Did your folks ever give you a spanking for bad behavior? Didn't think so.

You will find out when we see how this so-called freedom protest goes in the coming days and weeks. I assume you condone the occupation of downtowns and disrupting everyone's life and blockading of highways, etc. These are all illegal activities and can only be described as anarchy. If you approve of blockading highways and streets, you have defined yourself as a lawbreaker and anarchist.

If protests threaten the peace and life of Canadians, government can take whatever measures to restore law and order and protect our democratic institutions. There are many people in the world who are anarchists and will use any excuse to foment anarchy and revolution. This should never be forgotten. This has happened repeatedly throughout history in many countries. Canada is not exempt from these kinds of things. One of the purposes of an army is to defend a nation from internal threats. We had to do that in the FLQ crisis in 1970 with the War Measure Act. This situation could be heading in that direction if there are large numbers of people intent on creating anarchy and chaos and trying to overthrow our government. Depending on how this occupation goes, we will see what these protesters are intent on doing.

There is a right to protest against government laws or policies as long as it is done peacefully and does not involve illegal activities. This protest is full of illegal activities, illegal occupation of the city to begin with, and numerous other illegal activities. The leaders of the protest have already said in their manifesto that their purpose is to overthrow the democratically-elected government. That is sedition. That should be examined and if necessary action taken. Sedition warrants the use of the army if necessary to protect our democratic government and system.

You bet they are anarchists. Illegal occupation, breaking laws, threatening and intimidating citizens, shutting down businesses, disturbing the peace with steady honking, etc. fits the definition of anarchy. If a group of trucks surrounded your home and blocked you from entering and leaving and did all those things they are doing, you might agree it is anarchy.

Individuals can protest if they do it legally and not occupy any place. But only an idiot would believe using trucks to blockade are a legitimate protest.

Lawbreakers need to repent and obey the law. People are fed up and frustrated with the thugs. This has nothing to do with freedom. These are anarchists.

The fact is politicians and protesters demanding freedom don't determine when the pandemic ends. Governments are required to maintain the public health care system and if it is threatened to explode with Covid patients, governments all over the world have no choice but to bring in health restrictions. The problem is still much of the world has been vaccinated very little or few people and new variants could originate from those places and spread to the west. The west needs to get busy and help get those places vaccinated.

Of course everyone want the pandemic to end and restrictions lifted. But different provinces are experiencing different levels of Covid. Your poll mentions 54% want the restrictions to end. The reality is polls may have a degree of input to the politicians, but the health authorities will have a major say as they examine the spread and risks to society in lifting restrictions. So I don't think there is any hard and fast rule anywhere that says a poll determines when the restrictions will be lifted. It will most likely be a gradual process depending especially on the pressure on hospitals and ICUs by Covid patients. Hopefully no new dangerous variant will suddenly appear and start spreading all over again because that could change the whole picture.

With all the extreme anti-health restrictions and anti-mandate MPs in the party, who in their right mind would want to try to lead a group like that? By showing their support for the so-called freedom protesters, they are destroying the conservative party. I don't think that is where the majority of Canadians are.

Are you stamping your feet and screaming still about taking reasonable health measures to protect your neighbour? Even little school children had to be vaccinated to protect the other kids in schools. Or did you somehow think it was evil and escape it?

That is actually a very important question you ask. I'm glad you asked it. 1. I don't believe Satan is using me because I believe in Jesus Christ and his word, the Bible. .Jesus is God and is infinitely more powerful than Satan. Satan is a created being. This website says: "A Father’s Care God is not only our Creator; He is also our Father. As such, it is inconceivable that He would leave His children unprotected. In Matthew 6:8, Jesus says that our Father knows our needs before we ask Him. If we, even in our fallen condition, seek to provide for our children, how much more does God in His perfection seek to shelter and care for His offspring! Scripture testifies that He has “granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” (2 Peter 1:3). The more we possess a true knowledge of the Almighty, the more accessible His provisions for us become. What has He given us? He has prepared an abiding place for us where all that we need concerning life and godliness is ours. It is a place where every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places belongs to us in Christ (Eph. 1:3)." The following verses pretty well sum it up: "10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly} 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. {having…: or, having overcome all} 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; " Ephesians 6:10-17 KJV If you want to watch some video messages on this go to Pastor Stephane Chauvette's website called A Word for Today. He is speaking on this subject weekly now and has his messages on his website. You can find them there and watch them. You too can be protected from Satan if you become a child of God in Jesus Christ. 2. As for the definition of secular humanist, I am only going by what I read on websites on the subject. I also looked it up on dictionaries on the internet. You can verify that yourself via a search engine.

"What do I think?" Well, I think the definition of secular humanism mean the followers of it do not believe in the Almighty God of the Bible. But there may be exceptions. The Bible says the devils believe in God and tremble. So belief in a god in an of itself does not make a person a Christian or does not mean he is not a servant of Satan. If the devils can believe in God and still be opposed to God, then humans could do the same thing. There may be humanists who believe in some sort of god, but the correct definition of secular humanism means one who is an atheistic and believes human reasoning is the highest form of morality. So while it is possible a humanist could believe in god, it does not make him on the right side of god. If should be pointed out that all men are born with an evil, corrupt heart according to the Bible. Therefore everyone could be under the influence of Satan or following him, unless he is born again. See gospel of John.

Obviously if you can answer so quickly, you didn't bother reading anything I posted. So I will post this from the link I gave above: The real question is who are you following, God or Satan? quote The Bible teaches in our text verse that Satan is the god of this world, but the true and living God owns the earth and the fullness thereof (1st Corinthians 10:26). The Devil is only the god of the world's evil political, religious and control system. As such, Satan needs a way to communicate his evil desires with those evil men and women who are willing servants. Satan controls his willing servants through spiritual mediums such as Aleister Crowley, Helen Blavatsky and other occultists. Alex Jones snuck into Bohemian Grove in the year 2000 and recorded the dark highpriest summonsing Satan to “grant us thy counsel.” Evil men seek Satan's counsel, and they receive it through witchcraft and satanism. And then Satan deceives many people by imitating Christ's ministers. Most of the people who are following the Devil think they are doing the right thing. Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and Roman Catholics are all satanic religious cults, but sincerely think that they are doing the right thing. This is true of nearly all their adherents, but don't be fooled, the top leaders of these evil organizations are sold out to Freemasonry and Satan. They are fully aware of Satan's control over these organizations, which is why they are all top level Freemasons, Luciferian worshippers. Charles Taze Russell (founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses) and Joseph Smith (founder of the Mormons) were both 33rd degree Freemasons. So also was Oral Roberts, Ron Hubbard and many others. By taking control over a small handful of top positions of power in every field of industry, education, entertainment, government, corporate and religious influence, occult members are able to control the world for Satan. SIGNS OF SATAN! The sinister global elite have all the money and own all the television networks, Hollywood studios, mainstream news outlets, and the music and video game industries. Remember, Satan is the god of this world (2nd Corinthians 4:4), and as such he needs a way to control the world. This is accomplished by a pyramid of power, a chain of command flowing from the tiny elite top level down to the widespread pawns on the bottom. Please read, The Great Pyramid. unquote How Satan Controls The World (jesus-is-savior.com)

While this will not answer your question directly in a yes or no manner, it will shed some light on the subject. quote Theologically, Secular Humanists are atheists. Humanist Paul Kurtz, publisher of Prometheus Books and editor of Free Inquiry magazine, says that, “Humanism cannot in any fair sense of the word apply to one who still believes in God as the source and creator of the universe.”[5] Corliss Lamont agrees, saying, “Humanism contends that instead of the gods creating the cosmos, the cosmos, in the individualized form of human beings giving rein to their imagination, created the gods.”[6] Philosophically, Secular Humanists are naturalists. That is, they believe that nature is all that exists—the material world is all that exists. There is no God, no spiritual dimension, no afterlife. Carl Sagan said it best in the introduction to his Cosmos series: “The universe is all that is or ever was or ever will be.”[7] Roy Wood Sellars concurs. “Humanism is naturalistic,” he says, “and rejects the supernaturalistic stance with its postulated Creator-God and cosmic Ruler.”[8] Secular Humanist beliefs in the area of biology are closely tied to both their atheistic theology and their naturalist philosophy. If there is no supernatural, then life, including human life, must be the result of a purely natural phenomenon. Hence, Secular Humanists must believe in evolution. Julian Huxley, for example, insists that “man … his body, his mind and his soul were not supernaturally created but are all products of evolution.”[9] Sagan, Lamont, Sellars, Kurtz—all Secular Humanists are in agreement on this. Atheism leads most Secular Humanists to adopt ethical relativism—the belief that no absolute moral code exists, and therefore man must adjust his ethical standards in each situation according to his own judgment.[10] If God does not exist, then He cannot establish an absolute moral code. Humanist Max Hocutt says that human beings “may, and do, make up their own rules… Morality is not discovered; it is made.”[11] A religious worldview based on atheism, naturalism, evolution, and ethical relativism Secular Humanism, then, can be defined as a religious worldview based on atheism, naturalism, evolution, and ethical relativism. But this definition is merely the tip of the iceberg. A more complete discussion of the Secular Humanist worldview can be found in David Noebel’s Understanding the Times, which discusses (in detail) humanism’s approach to each of ten disciplines: theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics and history. unquote SECULAR HUMANISM - What is it? - ChristianAnswers.Net This information will shed more light on the subject of Satan and this world's ideologies and systems: How Satan Controls The World (jesus-is-savior.com)

This tells a bit more about how Karl Marx was a Satanist and what it's ramifications are for the world today. quote Marx had loved the words of Mephistopheles in Faust, “Everything in existence is worth being destroyed.” Everything — including the proletariat and the comrades. Marx quoted these words…. Stalin acted on them and destroyed even his own family. [p.13] The Satanist sect is not materialistic. It believes in eternal life. Oulanem, the person for whom Marx speaks, does not contest eternal life. He asserts it, but as a life of hate magnified to its extreme. It is worth noting that eternity for the devils means ‘torment.” Thus Jesus was reproached by the demons: “Art you come hither to torment us before our time?” (Matthew 8:29)…. [Marx’] correspondence with his father testifies to his squandering great sums of money on pleasures and his constant quarreling with parental authority about this and other matters. Then he might have fallen in with the tenets of the highly secret Satanist church and received the rites of initiation. Satan, whom his worshippers see in their hallucinatory orgies, speaks through them. Thus Marx is only Satan’s mouthpiece when he utters in his poem Invocation of One in Despair the words, “I wish to avenge myself against the One who rules above.” Listen to the end of Oulanem: If there is a Something which devours, I’ll leap within it, though I bring the world to ruins— The world which bulks between me and the abyss I will smash to pieces with my enduring curses…. In Oulanem Marx does what the devil does: he consigns the entire human race to damnation. Oulanem is probably the only drama in the world in which all the characters are aware of their own corruption, which they flaunt and celebrate with conviction. In this drama there is no black and white… All are satanic, corrupt, and doomed.[p.15] When he wrote these things, Marx… was eighteen. His life’s program had already been established. There was no word about serving mankind, the proletariat, or socialism. He wished to bring the world to ruin. He wished to build for himself a throne whose bulwark should be human shudder.[p.16]. source And he did.

Ok, I have stated what I believe and I don't see any point in further debate at this point as you are obviously just trying to be contrary now. Been there and done that. It's a waste of time.

As I said Communism in general opposes any religion that contradicts Communist ideology and worship of the Communist system. I think there have been serious conflicts between Tibet and Communist China. I don't think they approve of Buddhism. Yes, there are many ideologies including religious systems that claim to have the answers to life. Anything that is contrary to the Almighty God who created us and the universe would of course fall into that category. Satan is largely in control of this world and everything that works with that is working in rebellion to the one true Almighty God. But a little more about Marxism. quote Today one third of the world is Marxist. Marxism in one form or another is embraced by many in Capitalist countries, too. There are even Christians, yes, and clergymen, some of high standing, who are sure that while Jesus might have had the right answers about how to get to heaven, Marx had the right answers about how to help the hungry, destitute, and oppressed on earth. “Marx, it is said, was deeply humane. He was dominated by one idea: how to help the exploited masses. What impoverishes them, he maintained, is capitalism. Once this rotten system is overthrown, after a transitional period of dictatorship of the proletariat, a society will emerge in which everyone will work according to his abilities in factories and farms belonging to the collective, and will be rewarded according to his needs. There will be… no wars, no revolutions, only an everlasting, universal brotherhood…. [p.5] “Marx writes: “The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of man is a requisite for their real happiness. The call to abandon their illusions about their conditions is a call to abandon a condition which requires illusion….”[p.6] “Marx was anti-religious because religion obstructs the fulfillment of the Communist ideal which he considers the only answer to the world’s problems.”[p 6] unquote For more on this go to: Was Karl Marx a SATANIST? – Absolute Truth from the Word of God (grandmageri422.me)

The evidence of God is everywhere; you just don't believe it. Every effect has to have a cause. Hence a complex universe had to have a cause who we can call an intelligent designer or God.

Maybe the reference to gravity was a poor analogy. Yes there is evidence that something we call gravity exists. But we could also say the complexity of the universe and the fact it exists also is strong evidence of the fact of an intelligent designer we call God. There are countless articles and videos on this topic at creation.com The link to Richard Wurmbrand also has an audio youtube message. He also pointed out that a third of the world is under Marxism or Communism, which is likely still true today. So it is an important subject. Was Karl Marx a SATANIST? – Absolute Truth from the Word of God (grandmageri422.me)

Well, that might take some extensive work to explain it properly. I was fortunate to obtain this booklet decades ago. It was originally copyrighted in 1976 which means it is almost 50 years old. It is a small booklet called "Was Karl Marx a Satanist?" by Richard Wurmbrand. But just going by some initial thoughts off the top of my head, I would say Satanism is a cult of following Satan rather than following Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God. The link between Marxism and Satanism is that Marxism is built on the ideology that there is no God that we are accountable to and that Marxism follows a materialistic ideology instead. Now to understand this you have to understand that Satan is a fallen angel who was at one time Lucifer, a very beautiful angel who ministered to God in heaven in eternity past. This is described in a couple books of the Old Testament. Lucifer wanted to become like God and take over. So he rebelled against God and was kicked out of heaven. He took a third of the angels with him. His name became Satan. If you Google this, you can find more details and the verse in the Bible that describe this. Marxism and it's direct offspring, Communism, are purely humanist ideologies that reject the God the Bible and embrace materialism and demand that everyone worship the state and it's Communist leaders. It also exalts, in theory at least, the idea that the collective is supreme and the individual has no rights and no dignity as someone made in the image of God. In actuality it works out that the people must worship the Communist leaders and obey them no matter what. Getting back to the book written by Richard Wurmbrand, there is an interesting website describing Pastor Wurmbrand. quote Last night, my husband and I watched an incredible movie about the life of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, a faithful Romanian Christian who spent 14 years in a Romanian Communist prison. The movie was taken from the book “Tortured for Christ” written by Pastor Wurmbrand. He was tortured beyond imagination. Many pastors and priests were tortured for Christ in Romania, after the Russian invasion. Communism Will NOT Tolerate Christianity I encourage the reader to watch “Tortured for Christ.” The Remnant of believers in America have not known such horrific cruelty. But I do believe that if our Constitutional Republic is ever overthrown, and Communism takes its place, then true believers will be subjected to torture and told to renounce their faith in Christ. The late Reverend Richard Wurmbrand spent 14 years as a prisoner of the Communist government in Romania , where he was persecuted for his faith in Jesus Christ. His experience led him to spend further years researching Karl Marx and the Communist doctrines he developed. While Communism portrays itself as a noble endeavor for the good of mankind, and claims an Atheistic view, Wurmbrand exposes its true roots, revealing that Karl Marx and the fathers of the modern Communist/Socialist movements were inspired by the powers of darkness. “Marx & Satan” From cidibillings,.org “Was Marx a Satanist?” This book was written by Richard Wurmbrand, a faithful Romanian Christian who spent eight years in a Communist prison for sharing the Gospel and refusing to deny his Lord. His best known book is Tortured for Christ, his testimony of God’s triumph in the midst of Communist persecution. First, some background information about the uncompromising faithfulness of Pastor Wurmbrand from Voice of the Martyrs: “Two months after the Communist ‘People’s Republic of Romania’ was established, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand was arrested. Labeled ‘Prisoner Number 1,’ he was locked in a solitary cell, where he endured horrendous torture at the hands of the brutal secret police. More than eight years later, ‘a doctor masquerading as a Communist Party member discovered Richard alive.’ Released in 1956, he ‘resumed his work with the ‘underground’ churches….He was re-arrested in 1959 through the conspiracy of an associate, and sentenced to 25 years… accused of preaching ideas contrary to Communist doctrine.” “In 1967, Richard and Sabrina Wurmbrand founded a ministry that would serve the persecuted church. Its name was eventually changed to Voice of the Martyrs. By the mid-1980s, it was reaching out to “80 restricted nations with offices in 30 countries around the world.” His book, Tortured for Christ, became a source of encouragement among the persecuted throughout the Soviet system.” To read further go to: Was Karl Marx a SATANIST? – Absolute Truth from the Word of God (grandmageri422.me) Communism does not tolerate Christianity or freedom of religion.

I have a little booklet that explains Karl Marx was a Satanist. Marxism is a Satanic ideology. It denies the God who created the universe and exalts materialism. All that matters in Marxism is the material world or materialism. That is why Lenin, Mao, and other Communists were so easily able to kill around 100 million people in the 20th century to impose their ideology. So of course the whole thing was Satanic and under the control of Satan. Marxism is Satanic. So anyone who claims to be a Marxist should be flagged with a red flag of warning.
